GARBAGE RECEPTCLE,

Application filed June 8,

AT all Iwhom t may concern.'

Be it kno-wn that l, CALVIN lVURzLoW,

a citizen of the United States, residing at Houma, in the parish of Terrebonne and State of Louisiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Garbage Receptacles, of which the following is a specification,

My invention relates to an improvement in garbage receptacles.

The object is to provide a'container for garbage which cannot loe opened by dogs or cats.

in the accompanying drawings:

Fig. l is a view in elevation;

Fig. 2 is a sectional View; and

Fig 3 is a plan view.

A, is the receptacle having an opening l, at the upper end. This is preferably pro :Z0 vided with two Hanges Q, that might he ot angle-iron as shown or of other construction The numeral 3 represents the cover which fits between the flanges 2. A cleat 4 is pivoted hy a rivet 5 to the cover, and when turned as shown in full lines it is opposite the notch 6 in the slot 7, and when so placed 1922B Serial N'o. 566,705.

the cover may be slid out through the slot or opening 7, to open the receptacle.

llVhen swung to the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 3, it cannot be opened except by the exercise of suiiicient intelligence to first turn the cleat to the straight central position shown in full lines when cover and cleat may be slid out through slot and notch.

n this way, an effectual but simple means of fastening is provided for the cover which will exclude animals of all kinds while providing an inexpensive and perfect lockz l claim:

The combination with a receptacle having an open end provided with a groove and a slot through which the cover magiT be slid, said slot having a notch, of a cover and a cleat connected therewith, and which cleat, 45 when swung in alignment with the notch, will admit of the cover being removed, and, when out of said position, will prevent its being removed In testimony whereof l afX my signature.
